Morgan, who is still awaiting her first Ladies European Tour victory Air Vapormax Flyknit , was pleased with her game after making five birdies and one bogey on the Blackstone Course.

She said: "I had a really good finish and birdied the last three holes, but I played really steady and hit some really good hybrids into the longer par fours and missed a couple of putts early on so all in all I was pretty happy.

"I three putted the par-three 15th and gave myself a talking to and birdied the last three. 16 is a short par four and you've got sand wedge going in, so that was a good way to get a birdie back and I holed a 12 feet putt. On 17th Air Vapormax , I hit a good shot to five feet and I was happy and on 18th they've moved the tee up so it's very birdie-able."

Five-time major champion Park was less impressed with her four birdies and two bogeys, despite an eagle on the par-five 18th.

"I didn't have as many opportunities as I would have liked as the iron shots were a bit off today and I only eagled one par five and had par on the others. The key to this golf course is making birdies on the par fives so if I can do that tomorrow I think it will be a great round," said Park.

Park's main rival Cheap Nike Vapormax , Norwegian world No. 5 Suzann Pettersen, who won the 2013 event and finished second in 2014, opened with a level par 73 to share 14th place.

"I played pretty good. Just Nike Vapormax Sale , gosh, way too many putts," said Pettersen. "You've got to hit these putts so firm and hard to get it to the hole and I didn't seem to pick that up at all through the round so a little bit of work to do Nike Vapormax Mens , but overall decent. I'm playing okay, just not executing when I have a chance."
